Probably mostly pictures during the summer season. Not much to tell because the only products I can use, as I am aware of, are organic products. Mostly products from DCM and some iron for colour.

Did some repairs after i applied an overdose of iron..... I did the overseeding with 100% RPR from Barenbrug. Let's see how fast it will germinate.

How are you doing your edging? Is that a metal bar with the mulch 15mm lower?

 

[Hieronymus]

It's recycled plastic, 14cm high and sold as a role of 25 meters. It's called Ecolat.

Here is another example of how I used it.

That looks great. It looks to be safe for the kids bare feet. Their website doesnt list a USA source. :-(

 

[Hieronymus]

It's perfectly safe for kids. I have 3 kids myself. No sharp edges. And easy to use to! You can shape it in any form you like.

Germination in 4 days! That's why I work with RPR from Barenbrug! Love those seeds!

Stunning :thumbup:

After 10 days first mow with the rotary mower!

The same here with the barenbrug seeds. Germinate in just a few days

Nice! I have mowed it twice now with the rotary mower. First on 35mm, today 28mm. Tomorrow I will mow it with cylinder mower for he first time at 19mm. I might post some pictures of the results.

My biggest problem right now are the larvae of the crane fly. I don't know the English name of them. It's a returning thing here. Every year they pop up around this time of the year. You only discover them when they are creating damage to your lawn. So you're always late with the pest control.....

Can you get this product in your country? Chlorantraniliprole It is used for grubs and also protects for crane fly. It needs to be applied in april/may since it takes a while to move into the soil. imidacloprid (I dont like using it because of the bees), should protect if you apply now. Carbaryl (sevin) would work if you see damage (corrective instead of preventive).

Thanks a lot! I saw the product can be use used in de EU. Is there a brand name that has this substance in it? I can't find any when I google it. I now use Pychlorex, but this can only be used when the larvae are already active.

Chlorantraniliprole = Scott grubex1.

Scott is not sold in the Netherlands. But I saw I can get in on Amazon! Thanks @g-man!
